Yamaha TIO1608-D2 16-In 8-Out Dante Digital Stage Box

The Tio1608-D2 is a Dante-compatible I/O rack equipped with 16 mic/line inputs and 8 line outputs. It can control gain from TF Series and DM3 consoles remotely, allowing the construction of a simple stagebox system. The versatile Tio1608-D2 also supports 96k, making it perfect for use as an I/O rack in large installations with products such as the RIVAGE PM or DME7.

The Dante audio network standard is utilized in the DM3 and TF series, as well as in the CL and QL digital mixers. These consoles can be freely combined with the Tio1608-D2 or an R series I/O rack to create a system that matches the required scale and budget. Patching can be enabled via “Dante Controller” while Remote HA can be controlled by “R Remote” software.

*Please note that Remote HA on the Tio1608-D2 can be implemented only via the Primary port. Remote HA control of the Tio1608D2 is not available on the secondary network, even when using the product in combination with a TF or CL/QL console.

About Stageboxes at Sound Productions

Streamline and expand your live sound setup with stage boxes from Sound Productions. A stage box is a device that interfaces between sound source equipment (such as microphones, instruments, or speakers) and a mixer or mixing console via a cable snake. Stage boxes add more connectivity options right on stage, providing a central location to connect all your sound sources without having to run a cable to a distant input or output.

A stage box is an ideal piece of gear for sound reinforcement, live performances, complex productions, touring professionals, and recording studios. Stage boxes come in a wide range of options, varying in size, style, and functionality depending on your project’s specific needs. Some are designed to be wall- or rack-mountable for permanent installations, while others are portable, including handles for easy transport and repositioning and even rubber bumpers to protect the housing from wear and tear. Additionally, stage boxes come in analog and digital versions to complement your preexisting sound setup.
